Miley Cyrus grew up at risk from Billy Ray Cyrus‘ daredevil ways—but is none the worse for it today.

In a 2006 interview with Milling About host Robin Milling, which has never before aired anywhere, the country music powerhouse revealed how reckless he was with infant daughter Miley.

"I just try to be her friend, teach her to have fun and enjoy life," Billy Ray (above with Miley) said of his daughter, "because life comes at you fast and you need to enjoy it."

“Britney Spears is getting all this crap for having her baby in the front seat of the car,” he said of the infamous incident in which the pop tart was snapped by paparazzi while driving her SUV with son Sean Preston on her lap.

“Oh my goodness, if they had pictures of me—the things I did with Miley on four-wheelers and dirt bikes and horses. Without a helmet!

Miley Cyrus‘ dad is bent on becoming a little less country and a lot more rock ‘n’ roll.

Interviewed on Live from Music City, Billy Ray Cyrus chats about the evolution of his new band, Brother Clyde, which he founded last year, but just last month revamped to include all new members—former Mötley Crüe and Hole drummer Samantha Maloney among them.

Not only does Miley Cyrus serve as Savannah Outen‘s role model, but the budding pop princess has her eye on the superstar poptart’s TV beau!

Interviewed on WZAP Radio, Savannah – though unattached at the moment – dishes about what she desires in a guy.

"That just made my life. I was like, She knows who I am!" Savannah (above) says of Miley's Radio Disney nod.

“I am single with a capital ‘S.’ It’s so much better to be single. When you have a boyfriend, it’s so much drama,” the 16-year-old songbird, whose YouTube channel boasts 4.2 million views, tells host Zachary Sang.

Alison Brie may bear the name of a French cheese, but you won’t catch her cowering from a fight.

In fact, she’s picking one.

"Yea, it's on!" Alison (above) tells us of her Heidi smack-down.

Interviewed on WZAP Radio, the actress who plays Trudy Campbell on the AMC series Mad Men – and stars opposite Chevy Chase in the upcoming NBC sitcom Community – says she’s got The Hills star Heidi Montag in her sights.

“She showed up to work every day. No entourage. Just her. Wet hair, no makeup. Totally chill. Knew all of her lines. Incredible work ethic. So respectful of everyone on set.”

Earlier in the show, Simon reveals de- tails of his char- acter’s relation- ship to Hannah.

“The storyline of this episode is that Miley has been without a boyfriend for a very long time. Lilly and Oliver, they’re now together, and they’re sick of Miley being – they say she’s going to be this old spinster, all by herself.

“And Miley’s adamant that she doesn’t need a boyfriend. So they take her out to dinner, and it’s only supposed to be the three of them. And she shows up and there’s four place settings and she freaks out because they clearly have set her up on a blind date.

“Then I show up, I’m the blind date. They character’s name is Tim. And at first she’s throwing a fit because she doesn’t want this blind date.

"It's not a big age difference," Mandy (above) tells us of her 4-plus-year spread with Miley.

Mandy Jiroux may be on the verge of turning 22, but that’s not too old to be hanging out with 16- year-old Miley Cyrus.

Interviewed on BlogTalkRadio, Mandy dismisses chatter that the four-and-a-half-year age differ- ence between she and Miley makes her a poor role model for the Hannah Montana star – or otherwise impacts their BFF-ship.

“That’s been said for like a year now, since we’ve been really good friends, and it’s not [an issue]. Age is nothing but a number, and as long as you have stuff in comm- on with that friend, I don’t think it really makes a difference,” Mandy – who has been co-starring with Miley in the YouTube hit The Mandy and Miley Show since February 2008 – tells host Zachary Sang.

“Miley’s really mature for her age and we have a lot in common and we care about each other. So that’s all that really matters.”

"She just needed a friend to talk about it with," Mandy says of helping Miley through her painful split with Nick (above).

And when Zach asks Mandy, “Would you say you’re a really good role model for Miley?” she simply replies, “Yes.”

As for differentiating factors, Mandy – who first met Miley while touring with her as a dancer on Miley’s Best of Both Worlds concert tour – is quick to point out that she’s got the poptart beat when it comes to at least one bodily function.

“Jason Earles [who plays Miley’s older brother, Jackson, on Hannah Montana] came on the show. He said that Miley farts on-set and they play farting and burping games. Is there truth to this? Does she fart and burp?” asks Zach.

“Yea – but so does everybody. But I must say, I’m definitely a better burper than she is. I can burp on cue,” says Mandy – before letting one rip.

Mandy also discusses how Miley’s breakup with Nick Jonas brought her and the Disney superstar together.

“[It wasn’t] until the last Best of Both Worlds tour when we started becoming really close. She was going through a rough breakup [with Nick]. And I was going through a difficult time with a friend. So we just kind of like found one another and just became best friends,” she says.

“I helped her through a breakup, she helped me with the rough time,” adds Mandy.

“Any girl out there knows that when you go through a serious breakup with a boyfriend, it’s just hurtful. So, you know, you just have to be there for her in every way.”

For a 16-year-old high school student, Zach Sang sure makes a lot of waves in – and out – of cyberspace. Three months ago, while chatting with fellow BlogTalkRadio host Dr. Blogstein, the Wayne, N.J., resident outted Jim McGreevey as a Hannah Montana fan. That, by revealing that the former N.J. governor had tried to bribe his way backstage at a Miley Cyrus concert – a hot item that wound up in the New York Post‘s Page Six gossip column. And speaking of Miley, her TV brother, Jason Earles, dropped in on Zach’s WZAP Radio last month to chat about his hit Disney Channel show, and wound up dishing about Miley something fierce – so much so that his comments were picked up on gossip sites as far away as Brazil. Meanwhile, Zach has become something of a Disney maven, having interviewed Camp Rock‘s Jordan Francis, The Suite Life: On Deck‘s Debby Ryan, Sonny With a Chance‘s Sterling Knight and other budding stars who call the entertainment conglomerate home. And now, heeeere’s Zachary…

Give us a 15-second pitch for your show – why should listeners tune in?

WZAP Radio is an all-teen station, which means teen guests, (mostly) teen listeners and a teen host! I cover the news, celeb gossip and interview your favorite celebrities, all in an hour and a half. Pretty impressive! OK, if you’re over 30 years old, tell your kids to listen. Because they will most definitely know more about the guests and about the show then you will. (lol!)

Tell us two things listeners would be surprised to learn about you?

Ahhh… good question. I tap-danced for about six years. That’s pretty surprising, because I’m a “manly man.” And my second thing is, I’m a huge fan of the song No Average Angel by Tiffany Giardina. I love her and she is soooo nice. She evens stalks me sometimes. But it’s cool! (I hope you’re reading this, Tiffany.)

Who’s your broadcasting hero?

With the love of his, ah, professional life, Tiffany Giardina.

I love Todd Pettengill from WPLJ 95.5 in New York. I’m also a big fan of weather- man Bill Evans, who used to be with WPLJ until he moved to WABC-TV. I’ve known Bill for a while, and he has helped so much. He got me into the whole radio thing. So if it wasn’t for him, I would not be answering these ques- tions now.

If you could book any person on earth as a guest on your show, who would it be and why?

Miley Cyrus! Because I’ve interviewed every one of her best friends but not her – yet. I’d also love to book the Jonas Brothers. I’ve actually met them and they’re cool guys. But who knows, they might come on in July! (I hope you’re reading this, Nick, Joe and Kevin.)
